Seaweed and Sandcastles

My "happy place" is at the beach. It's in the mountains too, but I get to experience that much more often now that I'm land locked. I was pleased to find out that the girls "happy place" is the beach as well. There's never any arguing, whining or failing to share your sand toys at the beach. For some reason, the girls are always happy there...well, except when sand gets in their eyes.


Since we all love the beach so much, we frequented it almost everyday last week. We changed it up a bit and went to different ones, but my favorite is Butterfly Beach. We made sand castles and mermaid sculptures, looked for shells and chased the tide. Ahhh, I feel relaxed just thinking about it.


I found it amusing that the other beach goers (people who lived in SB) were all wearing warm clothes, while the girls were running around in their swimsuits. I used to think Woody was crazy when he wore shorts while visiting me in SB in the winter...but now I understand what it's like to come from a winter climate!
